Unable to add alerting in Grafana

[daande]

It appears that Instana datasources are not supported in Grafana alerting:

Bumping this, not sure why it's restricted.

As far as I know, it is not supported yet, since it is a frontend plugin written in JavaScript. In Grafana, you need a backend plugin for proper alerting, e.g., written in Go.

So to be able to have a Grafana Alerting with Instana, it's needed to rewrite the Plugin Code in Go and install the plugin as a backend plugin.

On the other hand, I would suggest being aware of not putting too much load to the Instana Server, with frequent heavy "analyze calls" queries.

I would be happy to contribute if there are any plans to start a Go-based Grafana plugin.

Hello,

it is added to our backlog, there is no ETA for this feature, though.

We will provide you with an update as soon as it will be released.

Thank you.

@Dalje-et Please keep us posted as this functionality is required for us to setup various alerts we are looking into implementing.

I am also looking to use Grafana for alerting with Instana. I think this feature would be helpful.
